#Is there a popular animal that Narufandom associates her with? I feel like she's been given many over the years. Depends on the fic...

In a His Dark Materials x Naruto crossover what would you think Sakura’s daemon would be? I was thinking of something like a black bear.

Ohhhh my god this would be hard, depending on what traits of hers are being emphasized.

I think this is corny but the first go-to in my head is a lioness. Powerful, forceful, social, takes care of others in its group. Iirc, a daemon is usually the opposite gender as you so it would be a male lion with a mane, not a lioness like I'd prefer, and I'm def feeling lioness more than lion for some reason so ehh...

I like the idea of a bear as well but not so sure about black bear (though a black bear's color would look great against her color palette...sigh...) It's just that black bears are like...quite a docile, timid kind of bear. I think if Sakura were to have a bear, it would be a brown bear/grizzly as it's more imposing and strong but still kind of aesthetically cutesy. A polar bear is even more powerful and vicious, but almost TOO much so for canon Sakura I think. Aligning her with a polar bear feels like I'm dipping into fanon a bit.

I think I'll stick with brown bear for now.
